Margaux Crump (b.1989, USA, under a dark moon) is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the entanglements between ecology, spirituality, and power. Her work imagines an expanded web of relationships where we co-create alongside an endless array of different forms of consciousness: animals, plants, fungi, spirits, stones, light, and subatomic particles. She is currently investigating the phenomena of unseen worlds, from the microscopic to the parallel mythic realms that surround us.

Crump has exhibited across the United States, most notably at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Saint Louis; The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, Washington, DC; and Women and Their Work, Austin, TX. Her work has been featured on Artnet and The Museum of Non-Visible Art as well as in online publications Venison Magazine and The Rib. She holds a MFA in studio art from Washington University in St. Louis, MO, and a BA from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX. She is an avid gardener and a member of the Fairy Investigation Society. Crump is currently based in Houston, TX.
